Unit 17 has the most liberal season for hunting brown bear. We have a fall and spring hunt also a nonresident hunter can take a bear every year. I access the fall and spring hunts with jet boats and hunt the hills that run along the river along with the back creeks.  All five species of salmon spawn in this area so there is allot of opportunity in finding bears along the river or up in the hills were they feed on berries. Early spring hunts are done in this same area and I access it using snow machines. Base camp is a 16×16 ft cabin with beds and wood stove and steam bath. The cabin is only two miles away from the hills that we hunt and you can glass directly from it. Primary means of transportation on the early hunt is with snow machines. (see Bear Facts for more info.)

Moose/Brown Bear Combo (Sept.5th-15th)………… $16,000.00

No openings left for 2010.

* One opening left for 2011.

Now offering hunts for 2012.

(We only offer 3 of these hunts per season.)

This is a great combination hunt! You can expect to get a chance at both of these animals on this hunt more so if the temperatures are low,  in fact I quit offering just moose hunts because we see so many bears during the moose season that it seems senseless not to actively hunt both animals. There’s no guarantee you’ll shot a 10 ft bear but you will have an opportunity to take a nice brown bear. The bull’s in this area average a true 60″ spread and I have taken several over 65″. We use jet boats to access this area and it makes short work of moving a couple miles up & down the small streams. I only offer three of these hunts every season and myself with long time friend Mike & Chad my brother along with Joseph do all the guiding. You can also take caribou, black bear, and wolves on this hunt.

* Our Caribou season is closed do to low numbers.

Caribou (Augusts 25th – October 10th) …………… $6,000.00

This is a 2×1 fully guided hunt that takes place in the Wood Tik-Chik State Park and along the Nushagak River. This is a great hunt for a couple of buddies to go on or father/son combination. We hunt the northern end of the park where the caribou migrate through on their way to their winter feeding grounds.

“King” Salmon Fishing (June 20th – July 10th) …. $2,225.00/5 days guided…..$1500.00/5 days unguided.

“Silver” Salmon Fishing (Aug.15th-Aug. 25th)….$1500.00/5 days

This is a five day trip that takes place on the “world famous” Nuchugak River . We can accommodate up to six anglers for each five day allotment. Fishing “Kings” on the Nushagak is consistently spectacular. You can expect a lot of action from these fish. The run is at its peak this time of year and we plan accordingly.

The rainbow’s and grayling are nice and fat from feeding on Salmon eggs all summer and you often catch them by accident when “working” Kings. There are several secondary streams that are spawning grounds for “Reds,” “Pinks,” and “Chums” that you can take advantage of when you need a break from the king action.
